I got the confirmation right away but later on it sent mail state it's on back order with
"special" remark.
I really don't know whether they going to sent it or not.
But I did remember have to refill within 21 days after order.
I hope it won't take that long before I got it on hand.
Any good news?

I got a DHL tracking number in my latest email from them! Hope it's not just a prepaid SIM card or an empty plastic bag.

Called AT&T yesterday and gave me the unlock code on my first attempt no problem. I was able to unlock my pantech c150. Just tell them you are going overseas and would like to use the phone while you are over there.


atobias said:You cannot unlock this phone without a "subsidy code". The instructions above does not unlock the phone allowing you to use a different carrier.

You can call AT&T and they will most likely tell you that you need to wait 6 months until they will give you a subsidy code. You might get very lucky and get it before 6 months is up. Very doubtful anymore though.

I just pay someone $10 for a subsidy code. Works everytime.

Yeah this phone is cheap and not the greatest but what can you expect for $10 new? It's a nice backup phone or for the kids. T-Mobile also has this phone in their online config site to easily set it up for T-Zones and multimedia text/email. The only downfall is the Cingular logos will remain. So far I haven't found any software or been able to use the Pantech sync software(cable costs $5) to change that. It's just a minor annoyance.

After calling in and being on hold and arguing for about 30min, they finally gave me a subsidy code. I told them I was going to Europe and needed the phone unlocked. After being asked where Europe was (I'm not kidding) I was told I had to be a customer for 6mos before I could get the code. I asked to speak to supervisor and the CSR came back and said I could have the code.

After getting the subsidy code, here is the procedure I followed to unlock the Pantech C120:

1-Turn phone off
2-Put in non-ATT SIM card (I used a Tmobile SIM)
3-Turn phone on
4-Phone boots up and says "invalid SIM" or something like that and has a button that says "unlock"
5-Push "unlock" button
6-Phone prompts you to enter "password"
7-Type in subsidy code which in my case was an eight digit number (16677928)
8-Hit Enter
9-Phone reboots and connects to Tmobile service

Feel free to try my subsidy code, but I would guess that it is tied to my particular IMEI # or account # in some way and probably won't work for all Pantech C120s. If it does work for you, please post here.

Good news to know it could unlock via AT&T.
May try it when got the phone

Checked today, and it looks like the c120 is now 14.99

DK is a scam company. I ordered one through DK and they have no record for my order click, when contacted they said they dont see the click from my account.

So what is the truth?
If you buy this phone, you MUST activate in on a GoPhone plan, or you will be billed the "$79.99 online discount"???

Or, can you just pop in an existing ATT sim card and use it, without penalty?

Received mine today. Nice even at the $10 current price.
